Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 149 Great Fortune Advances to General Level! General Trait "Crown Prince"!
The materials needed to upgrade the drifting ship are now complete.

Using his Creative Brain ability, Shi Ming focused his attention on the Dayun Ship. High-grade sea crystals, iron ore, and the blood of sea beasts quickly transformed into a viscous gaseous state, swirling around the hull of the Dayun Ship and transforming the drifting vessel with a peculiar power.

Tier 4 ships upgraded to Tier 5!
Upgrades can only slightly alter the exterior, but the exterior is the most deceptive thing, and also the least important thing for a ship.

To outsiders, it still appears to be an unremarkable Silver-class drifting ship. Little do they know, it is actually a Gold-class, or even General-class, drifting ship! A single collision could easily disintegrate their vessel.

[Gold-class drifting ship - Dayun, No. 23333]

【Level: 5】

[A silver-plated exterior, but the essence of a top-tier gold-plated ship! Perhaps this ship has taken the art of feigning weakness to its extreme! Its hull is so sturdy it can withstand a full-force attack from an A-class sea monster, and its stealth system can evade detection by all other ships of its class!]

Its numerous ship functions have been upgraded! It is the king of golden ships!

[Advancement Requirements: 2000 High-Grade Sea Crystals, 1 Heart of the Sea, 10 liters of A-Rank Sea Beast Blood.]

[Advancement materials detected. Advance immediately?]

Advancement!

The nautical spirit shed from the cooking smoke became the cornerstone for the Dayun to embark on its journey as a general-class drifting ship.

The deep blue meteorite spun around before shattering into tiny gaseous particles, along with 2000 high-grade sea crystals and the blood of two different Class A sea beasts, all of which reshaped the drifting ship once again.

Upgrading the Grand Fortune ship twice in a row requires a lot of mental energy.

Fortunately, Shi Ming's mental strength is now very abundant. Compared to his first upgrade to the General-level drifting ship, he feels much more at ease. It's just a pity that he still doesn't have a concrete quantitative understanding of his mental strength and can't determine what level he is at.

The Grand Canal is much larger than the Sun-Shooting Ship, so it consumes more high-grade sea crystals than the Sun-Shooting Ship, but the main material remains the same, still requiring only one Heart of the Sea.

Time passed second by second, and the message "Advancement Successful" appeared in his eyes.

One more admiral-class ship will now be added to the endless ocean!
What kind of [characteristics] will appear this time?

Shi Ming's eyes swept over the new general, [Da Yun], whose aura was restrained, and its information reappeared before his eyes.

[General-class drifting ship - Da Yun, No. 23333]

【Level: 1】

[The former lowly Silver rank soldier has now become a general, and even activated two general traits! This is truly a rare miracle! Even those who compiled the Drifting Ship System and Skynet System would be amazed! Perhaps, he'll even dismantle it and use it as a research sample!]

[New Feature Added! Crown Prince!]

[New Feature Added! Breakthrough!]

[Upgrade requires: 300 Dome Crystals, 1000g of any S-rank sea beast blood, and 1 Heart of the Sea (or an equivalent amount of energy meteorite)]

Two characteristics!?

That's one more than the Sun-Shooting Ship! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

As for the "compiled drifting ship system and Skynet system" mentioned by the Brain of Creation, due to limited information, he could not understand or speculate further. He could only make a note of it and see if he could find relevant clues in the future, and keep it in mind.

Shi Ming rubbed his slightly tired head, carefully sensing the changes in the new general.

As always, from the outside it is still an ordinary silver ship. Only by touching its material and carefully appreciating its charm can one feel the amazing potential it contains!
Of the 102 admiral-class drifting ships in the endless ocean, Shi Ming owns two!
[Characteristic: Crown Prince]

[Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger; when a sage arises, all things are revealed. This ship, though newly commissioned, already possesses the bearing of a king!]

Whether it's level 1 or 5, the Great Fortune will exhibit the characteristics of a young king! It will be immune to the general traits of other general-level drifting ships! Neither "Township" nor "Force Field," nor "Breaking Army" or "Disruption" will have any effect on it!

……

Shi Ming blinked. Crown Prince? Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger… He's only just been promoted to general, and he already has such a general's characteristic in his name? What's the purpose of this?

This yellow robe, what am I to do with it?

You've really pushed me too far!
He continued to learn about another feature.

[Characteristic: Breaking Momentum]

In turbulent times, true heroes emerge.

[Activating the Breaking Force will forcefully stabilize the Grand Cycle, rapidly consuming Dome Crystals or Pure Dome Crystals to begin accumulating power; releasing the Breaking Force will unleash the accumulated power within 10 seconds, surging 1 nautical mile! The longer the accumulation time and the higher the grade of energy stones consumed, the stronger the Breaking Force will be!]

[Note: Capable of capsizing drifting ships of the same class!]

Shi Ming noticed a word: rank.

It's not a level.

In other words, if the momentum of the Breaking Force is accumulated enough, a single collision could potentially capsize a ship like the "Black Society"? Whether it's level 5 or level 1, it'll be a game-changer!
A ship that was originally hijacked by a gang and forced to become its own drifting vessel turns around and capsizes the gang?
If such a scenario were to actually occur, wouldn't it be the biggest joke of heaven?
Putting aside future considerations, Shi Ming was very satisfied with the two general-level characteristics of the Dayun. From other aspects, the material and sturdiness of the hull, as well as some internal infrastructure, had been upgraded to general-level, living up to its name.

This includes the ship's firepower systems, defense systems, reconnaissance systems, and counter-reconnaissance systems...

It may be the second smallest of the Admiral-class ships, but it is definitely not the smallest.

The marine radar can now directly detect life forms 30 nautical miles above the sea and 3000 meters below the surface.

With its firepower system fully activated, it's enough to contend with an A-level sea monster. However, Shi Ming generally doesn't use the ship's weapons; he is the ship's largest firepower system. Besides, isn't fighting sea monsters a very interesting thing? There's no need to rely on external forces.

Moreover, the captain's authority has been greatly enhanced.

Now Shi Ming can remotely control the Dayun. He doesn't need to be on the ship; as long as it's within 30 nautical miles, the Dayun will obey his commands and conduct long-range operations. He can also pre-set commands so that the Dayun can execute its tasks flawlessly even when he's not around. Of course, this will be quite mechanical, since the Dayun is, in some ways, inferior to the Sun-Shooting Ship, lacking an artificial intelligence system.

I wonder what the Black Society's expression will be when they see this ship again?
Do you still want to recycle?
It is simply the opposite of Tiangang!
